Browser interface for accessing supplemental content associated with content pages

A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a browser component, said browser component including executable code that directs a user computing device having a touchscreen to perform a process that comprises:

• retrieving a content page of a content site, and displaying the content page on the touchscreen;
• receiving, from a content source that is separate from the content site, supplemental content associated with the content page;
• detecting a touchscreen gesture representing a user request to flip the content page over;
• and
• in response to the touchscreen gesture, creating a visual appearance of the content page being flipped over to reveal a back side, and displaying the supplemental content on said back side.

A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium having computer-executable components for providing content, the computer-executable components comprising:

• a user interface component that presents content in a first page on a display of a computing device;
• a monitoring component that detects a user gesture to flip the first page to a second page, wherein the user gesture occurs in relation to the computing device;
• and
• a content selection component that obtains second content from one or more sources external to the computing device,
• wherein after detection of the user gesture, the user interface component presents at least a portion of the obtained second content.

A computer-implemented method for presenting content on a display of a computing device, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• detecting a user interaction with the computing device while first content is presented in a first page on the display, said user interaction being a touchscreen gesture indicative of a request to view second content related to the first content;
• requesting second content determined to be related to the first content presented in the first page, wherein the second content is to be presented in a second page on the display;
• and
• after detection of said user interaction with the computing device, automatically presenting, on the display, at least a portion of the second content in the second page.

A computing device that is operable to present content in multiple pages comprising:

• a memory operative to store content;
• a display operative to present at least a first content item;
• a processing unit in communication with the memory and the display, the processing unit operative to:
• cause the display of the first content item in a first page;
• obtain, from a server, a selection of at least one of a plurality of supplemental content items for presentation in a second page, wherein the first content item contains information different from the at least one of the plurality of supplemental content items;
• detect a user interaction indicative of a request to flip the first page to the second page;
• in response to detecting the user interaction indicative of a request to flip the first page to the second page, cause the display of the at least one of the plurality of supplemental content items in the second page.
